While the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo promised Mexicans and Native Americans in the captured territory US citizenship, they lost their civil and political rights for at least 120 years . From this came a group of women entrepreneurs called "Chili Queens" that sold tacos as street vendors, an easy to make meal for the silver miners of 18th century Mexico. When the railroads came in the 1880s, the tourist sought out the Chili Queen's tacos just as much as any other attraction. From there, tacos evolved to use ingredients available in the United State and the development of food processing; including iceberg lettuce, cheddar cheese, and tomatoes. This culinary delight is a tribute to our turbulent shared American history. And something to remember every time we celebrate Taco Tuesday.For more information or custom order, please visit:https://www.etsy.com/shop/MikeKrausArt
